THE NEW POTATO

Where To Get Breakfast in Midtown

"You potatoheads know we take our breakfast seriously around here. That’s why when a weekday midtown breakfast meeting comes up, we refuse to not take picking a spot seriously. We won’t just go anywhere…greek yogurt, acai bowls, eggs and the like are serious things to be considered. Got a hankering for bagels? Head to H&H. Craving Australian-style coffee and avocado toast? Bluestone Lane is your place. You may not share our sentiments about breakfast at the moment, but after you check out our favorite spots in Midtown, we suspect you’ll change your stance…or at least book all your morning business meetings around here. The National, 557 Lexington Ave. Order: Baked Eggs en Cocotte with san Marzano Tomato, Pepperoncini, Pecorino Romano."
